    Does anyone have any safe Themes for Vista? I'm afraid to download anything and I don't see anything from Microsoft. Any suggestions other than the boring sky blue Aero?:confused:

    Aero is not supposed to be boring :D

    I suppose you are expected to make your own theme. I don't mind making my own :)

    Choose your own background/wallpaper. Select, say, a favourite picture (mine is the Crab Nebula).

    Select your own colours in Window Color and Appearance (sorry about the clash of spelling).

    I would rather make my own settings than have other programs make it for me.

    Thanks Matt but after downloading IE8 the sky blue has to go. I think I'll spend some time figuring out how to change the title bars.

    It's Control Panel -> Personalization -> Window Color and Appearance -> Open classic appearance properties for more color options -> Advanced button.

    Thanks for prompting me to look to find it. Yes, the sky blue is "hard on the eyes" at times.
